Thinking of buying the 2011 Mazda Speed 3?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 Mazda Speed 3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2011 Mazda Speed 3 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Speed 3
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
The 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
By the EPA's combined rating of 11.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 34 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $59.85 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 481 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the Speed 3 suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Speed 3 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Speed 3 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
